At a Meeting of the GENERAL BOARD OF MANAGEMENT of the Company for 
making a RAILWAY betiveen LONDON and BIRMINGHAM, composed of 
Deputations from the respective London and Birmingham Boards, which teas held 
at No. 69, Corn hill, on 31s£ January , 1832, 

ISAAC SOLLY, ESQ. in the Chair, 

It was ordered that the following Circular he published :— 

THE DIRECTORS of the Company for making a Railway between London and Birmingham, 
on the eve of applying to Parliament for the Bill, deem it right to give a general view of their plans, 
and of the prospects of the Subscribers to the undertaking. 

The necessary preliminary measures had been taken for presenting a Bill for a Railway, of Four 
Lines of Rails, in the Session of 1831, when several important considerations decided the Directors to 
defer this proceeding. 

Detailed and accurate information has, in the mean time, been obtained on matters which the 
Directors were desirous of further investigating. A greater width of country lying between the Metro¬ 
polis and Birmingham has been examined ; accurate Returns have been procured of the traffic existing 
in the intermediate district; and the question of the comparative advantages, for the purposes of the 
Company, of a Railway of Four Lines, or of Two Lines, maturely weighed. 

A Line of Railway has been laid down, 112| miles long, in the same general direction as the 
former Line, but differing from it in several important particulars. 

Strong opposition was manifested to the plan of last year by several considerable Land-owners, in 
consequence of the Line encroaching upon the privacy of their residences. The Line now passes clear 
of all parks and private grounds. 

The excavations and embankments are reduced, although a base of two feet is allowed to one foot 
of height in every embankment on the Line. On the Liverpool and Manchester Railway the proportions 
are, one foot and a half only of base to one foot perpendicular. 

The Planes have a smaller inclination than on the former Line, and the weights, therefore, which 
the Engines can draw, will be in proportion greater. Birmingham being considerably higher than 
London, and the intervening ground much broken, it was obviously impracticable to lay down the Line 
on a level; but it is so arranged that the inclination of the Railway will in no case exceed sixteen feet 
in any one mile, or about the tenth part of an inch in a yard. 

The occasional use of tunnels forms another variation in the present plan. They may, according to 
the decided opinion of the engineers, be traversed by locomotive engines, without the least inconvenience 
to passengers. Of these tunnels there are ten; one at Primrose Hill, half a mile long, one near Watford, 
a mile long, and one near Kilsby, 78 miles from London, a mile and a quarter long. The others are 
each less than a quarter of a mile in length, with the exception of one which is a third of a mile long. 
They will be 25 feet in height, well lighted, and ought rather to be called galleries than tunnels. 

Two Lines of Rails, with turns-out at convenient distances, are ascertained to be sufficient for any 
probable extent of traffic. 

The space between the two Lines of Rails will be 6 feet: the width of the Railway on the embank¬ 
ments 28 feet, and in the excavations feet: an additional width of 2 feet being allowed in the latter 


case for drainage. 

The Estimated Expense of the undertaking has been greatly reduced : 

For excavations, embankments, and tunnels, the amount now is.£1,098,000 

Masonry, including bridges, and walling in Depbts. 334,672 

Rails, ..316,368 

Ballasting and fencing. • • • • • 205,920 

o£T,954,960 

Ten per Cent, thereon for contingencies, including engineering, surveying, Parlia¬ 
mentary conveyancing, and other law charges. 195,496 

Land and compensation. 250,000 


Total estimated expense.<£2,400,456 


The Estimate of Income, founded on actual returns of the present traffic by roads and Canals, is 

For Passengers by coaches, posting, &c..£331,272 

Goods by vans, stage waggons, and market carts.112,500 

Goods by fly boats .. 227,330 


Total estimated gross income . . . .<£671,102 





















Of goods which are also conveyed by canals, the Estimate of Income does not include pig and bar 
iron, and other metals in a rude form, coals, salt, timber, deals, bricks, tiles, slates, flints, stone, lime, 
grain, hay, straw, and manure. Neither does it include cattle, sheep, and pigs; nor is any thing assumed 
for an increase of passengers, of goods, or of provisions of all descriptions. 

With respect to the outgoings, the Directors consider that taking the expenses of the Liverpool and 
Manchester Railway, as stated in the published Reports, for the basis of their calculation, a deduction 
of one half from the amount of the gross receipts will be a sufficient allowance. 

The number of ,£100 Shares subscribed for amounts to upwards of 19,000, and upon them a pay¬ 
ment of Five Pounds each has been made. 

The outlay for surveying, engineering, law, canvassing the owners and occupiers of the Line, 
Parliamentary and other unavoidable expenses, (including every outstanding Claim on the Company) up 
to this period, is less than One Third of the Deposits, and of the remainder, ,£52,000 is invested in 
Exchequer Bills. 

With this view before them of the favorable position of the undertaking, the Directors are of opinion 
that they should not have consulted the interests of the Subscribers, had they not decided on 
presenting the Bill to Parliament. 

They believe the moment to be propitious, and that the benefits of a work, of which manual labor 
forms so very large a proportion of the cost, will not, in the present condition of the laboring classes, be 
viewed with indifference by any who are interested in the tranquillity and welfare of the country. 

The directors cannot conclude this Report without inviting the attention of the Subscribers to the 
prospects of advantage which the establishment of this Railway holds out. 

The great objects are, 

First —The opening new and distant sources of supply of provisions to the Metropolis: 

Second —Easy, cheap, and expeditious travelling: 

Third —The rapid and economical interchange of the great articles of consumption, and of commerce 
both internal and external, and 

Lastly —The connexion by Railways between London and Liverpool—a new Company being formed 
for a Railway between Liverpool and Birmingham, which with the Manchester and Liverpool Road now 
in operation, and the London and Birmingham Road, will connect London by Railways with the rich 
pastures of the centre of England, and the greatest manufacturing districts; and through the Port of 
Liverpool afford a most expeditious communication with Ireland. 

When this undertaking is completed, there can be little doubt that branches from the chief towns 
and districts, on each side of the main Line, will be formed to the diffusion of the benefits above 
stated, throughout the kingdom, and to the especial advantage of the Proprietors of this Company, 
by whose main road alone the communication with the metropolis must be maintained. 

By Order of the Boards

REPORT of the Committee appointed by the General Board of Management to 
superintend the Proceedings in Parliament, ordered to be printed and circulated 
amongst the Subscribers at the Meeting of the Committee, on the 13 th of July, 1832 . 


IN conformity with the Resolution to carry the Bill into Parliament in the present Session, 
which the Board of Management announced to the Subscribers, in their Circular of the 31st of January 
last, the Bill was presented, and read a first time in the House of Commons, on the 20th February. On 
the 28th February, it was read a second time, after a division of 125 to 46. 

The Committee to which the Bill was thereupon referred, and of which Sir Gray Skipwith, Bart, 
one of the Members for Warwickshire, was Chairman, after having devoted nineteen days to a rigorous 
and patient examination of the evidence, voted the preamble on the 1st of June, by a majority of 26 to 10. 
The clauses occupied the Committee two days more. Some discussion occurred when the Report was 
brought up on a motion of the Opponents for an Appeal, but the sense of the Members present, at least 
200, was so decidedly against the appeal, that the House did not divide. The Bill was then read a third 
time, and passed. 

The first and second reading of the Bill in the House of Lords passed without any division. On the 
22d June it was committed. 

The Committee, of which Lord Wharncliffe was Chairman, had sat for six days, and the Case of the 
Promoters of the Bill was nearly concluded, when an adjournment was agreed to at the suggestion, it 
was understood, of the Chairman, with a view to an amicable arrangement being effected with the 
opponents. The negociations which ensued would, it was fully expected, have been successful; but, on 
the 9th July, the Solicitor of the opponents gave notice that they had determined to proceed. On the 
following day, as soon as the Case for the Bill had been closed, the Committee Room was cleared, on 
the motion of a Noble Lord ; and on the Parties being re-admitted, the Chairman communicated the fol¬ 
lowing Resolutions of the Committee:— 

First,—That the Case for the Promoters of the Pill having been concluded, it does not appear that they 
have made out such a Case as would warrant the forcing of the proposed Railway through the lands and 
property of so great a proportion of dissentient landowners and proprietors. 

Second,—That the allegations of the Preamble have not been proved. 

The Bill was, therefore, lost. 

With reference to the First of these Resolutions, it should be observed, that in consequence of 
arrangements concluded since the introduction of the Bill and some on the very day of the decision of 
the Committee, the length of the Line upon which the Proprietors were dissentient was very little greater 
than of the non-dissentients ; a circumstance which although it has not been productive of a favorable 
result on the present occasion, will have a powerful influence on any future proceedings. 

The important evidence which had been brought before Parliament during the Sitting of the Com¬ 
mittees had strongly interested many Peers and Members of the House of Commons in the success of 
the measure. To enable them, therefore, as well as other persons favorably disposed to the Railway, 





to put their sentiments on record, a Meeting was held at the Thatched-House Tavern, on the Friday 

following the failure of the Bill in the House of Lords, when Lord Wharncliffe having kindly taken the 

Chair, the following Resolutions were passed. 

first resolution. —Moved by the Right Hon. the Earl of Denbigh, and seconded by Sir Gray Skipwith, 
Bart. M.P. 

That, in the opinion of this Meeting, a Railway from Birmingham to London will be productive of 
very great national benefit.

second resolution. —Moved by the Right Hon. the Earl of Aylesford, and seconded by Sir E. Dollman 
Scott, Bart. M.P. 

That the Bill effecting this important object having passed the House of Commons, after a long 
and rigorous examination of its merits, it must be presumed that its failure in the House of 

Lords has arisen from apprehensions on the part of the landowners and proprietors respecting 

its probable effect on their estates, which this Meeting firmly and conscientiously believe to 

be ill-founded. 

third resolution. —Moved by the Right Hon. the Earl of Caledon, and seconded by J. Hodgetts 
Hodgetts Foley, Esq. M.P. 

That, consequently, this Meeting see no Parliamentary or other grounds for abandoning this great 
undertaking, convinced as they are, that by timely explanations, and a continuance of 
judicious management, the difficulties which occurred in the progress of the Bill may be 
removed in the ensuing Session of Parliament. 

WHARNCLIFFE, Chairman. 

Lord Wharncliffe having left the Chair, it was moved by Edmund Peel, Esq. M.P. and seconded by the 
Right Hon. the Earl of Denbigh, 

That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Right Hon. Lord Wharncliffe, for his kindness 
in taking the Chair. 



A detailed account of the Proceedings of the Meeting will accompany this Report. 

The Committee, in referring the Subscribers to the important observations of Lord Wharncliffe, 
think it right to declare, that they have invariably acted on the principles which are proposed for their 
guidance ; and that they shall continue to persevere in the course of proceeding which is sanctioned by 
his Lordship’s advice. 

They have only further to state, that the Board of Management is actively employed in making up 
a Statement of the affairs of the Company; and that it will he circulated amongst the Subscribers at 
the earliest possible period, with the recommendation of the Directors as to future proceedings.

At a Meeting of the GENERAL BOARD OF MANAGEMENT of the Company for 
making a RAILWAY between LONDON and BIRMINGHAM, composed of 
Deputations from the respective London and Birmingham Boards, which was held 
at No. 69, Comhill , on 23 rd January , 1833, 

ISAAC SOLLY, ESQ. in the Chair, 

It was ordered that the following Circular he published 

THE conclusive nature of the evidence in support of the Railway, adduced before the Com¬ 
mittees of both Houses of Parliament, and the strong resolutions in its favor passed at the meeting 
of the Noblemen and Gentlemen at the Thatched House Tavern, at which Lord Wharncliffe 
presided, left no hesitation in the minds of the Directors as to the expediency of renewing their 
application to Parliament, provided they could remove, to a sufficient extent, that “ opposition of 
dissentient Landowners and Proprietors,” which appeared to have been the sole cause of the failure 
of their Bill in the last Session. 

The Directors consequently adopted measures for this purpose as soon as possible after the 
prorogation of Parliament; in the prosecution of these, they have been engaged up to the present 
moment; and the negociations with some most influential parties have only very recently been 
concluded. This explanation they hope will satisfactorily account to the Subscribers for the delay 
of “the statement of the affairs of the Company, and their recommendation as to future proceedings,” 
which w r as proposed in their circular of the 13th July last. 

The Directors have now the pleasure of announcing that their measures have been successful, 
even to a greater extent than they had ventured to anticipate. The sentiments of a few of their 
former opponents have not yet been ascertained, but nearly all those who were the most active 
and most formidable have been conciliated. The assents of last year have in most instances been 
renewed, and generally the progress made has been such as to afford the most confident expec¬ 
tations. of success. 

Their own continued enquiries have strengthened the conviction of the Directors of the high 
value and national importance of the great undertaking in which they have engaged. They have 
not been inattentive to the numerous plans suggested for the employment of Steam Carriages on 
the Turnpike Roads, nor to the great increase of speed said to have been attained in the naviga¬ 
tion of some of the Scotch Canals ; but they see ro reason to apprehend from any of these projects 
such a rivalry as can interfere with the success of the Railway. 

Under these circumstances the Directors are persuaded they shall have the zealous concurrence 
of the Subscribers in their renewed efforts to obtain an Act of incorporation for the Company, for 
which they have resolved to apply at the very earliest period of the approaching Session of 
Parliament. 

It was stated by the Directors in their Circular of the 31st of January last, that “ the Outlay for 
surveying, engineering, law, canvassing the owners and occupiers of the line, and Parliamentary and 
other unavoidable expenses, up to that period, was less than one-third of the deposits, and that of the 
remainder, ,£52,000. were invested in Exchequer Bills.” The various expenses since incurred, and 
especially those attendant on the protracted proceedings before the Parliamentary Committees, 
have necessarily caused a very considerable addition to these disbursements ; but as will be seen by 
the annexed statement of Accounts, nearly one half of the deposits of £5. per share still remains ^ 
and of this amount, £42,000. are invested in Exchequer Bills. The sum, therefore, at the 
command of the Directors, would, under any circumstances, be far more than sufficient to meet 
the charges of the intended proceedings ; but in their present favorable position the Directors have no 
doubt that the expenses of the further prosecution, and, as they believe, the attainment of their object,, 
will be small in comparison with those which attended their former efforts.

REPORT. 


London, 19^ Sept. 1833. 

THE Directors on this first occasion of meeting the Proprietors, for the purpose of rendering an 
account of their proceedings in execution of the trust confided to them, offer their congratulations on 
the success which has at length crowned their endeavors to obtain an Act of Incorporation for the 
Company. 

The expectations expressed in their Circular of the 23rd January last, have been fully realized; the 
Bill having passed in the last Session of Parliament, with little opposition, and at an expense of not 
more than half the amount incurred in the former application. 

The Proprietors have been made acquainted, by former communications from the Directors, with the 
leading circumstances attending the progress of the great undertaking in which they are embarked. 
Probably few private Bills ever sustained so much combined opposition in Parliament, as was given in 
1832 to that for the London and Birmingham Railway; this opposition, although the cause of much 
delay and expense, had the effect of inducing so rigid a scrutiny into the estimates of the cost; the 
probable receipts from the traffic ; and the public benefit of the Railway; as fully to substantiate the 
facts upon which the Directors had relied, as the ground of their expectations of advantage, both to the 
Proprietors and the Public. 

The Contract Deeds are executed for the subscriptions for the whole of the capital, £2,500,000; and 
by a clause in the Act, the Company is empowered, when £1,250,000. (half this amount) shall have been 
paid up, to raise the remainder, or any portion of it, by loan, if it should be deemed expedient. 

The Board of Directors, in carrying into effect the provisions of the Act, have placed equal 
portions of the Line under the separate superintendance of the respective London and Birmingham 
Committees ; and by identity of Regulations, interchange of minutes, and other measures, have provided 
for complete uniformity in management. 

From the length of time which elapsed between the formation of the Company, and the passing of 
the Act, it became desirable to adopt a mode of registering the Proprietors, which would comprise all 
the actual holders of shares; and accordingly the Register, to which the Common Seal of the Company 
has now to be attached, contains, not only the names of such Proprietors as have claimed to be registered, 
in respect of Shares for which they executed the Contract Deeds, but also of those, who holding Certi¬ 
ficates of Shares, have complied with the Notices advertised in the public papers. 

For the convenience of the Proprietors, the Directors have arranged that shares may be transferred 
at the Offices, either in London or Birmingham; and such fees as, in pursuance of the provisions of 
the Act, it may be expedient hereafter to demand, will be carried to the credit of the Company. 

The Directors, considering it indispensable, that in the execution of the works, one engineer should 
have the entire direction, and that his time and services should be devoted exclusively to the Company, 
have, under these conditions, appointed Mr. Robert Stephenson, Engineer in chief for the whole Line • 
and they are persuaded that to no one could this charge be more safely or more properly confided. He 
has received instructions to stake out the Line without delay, and the Directors have reason to expect 
that the Railway will be completed in about four years from the commencement of the work. 

The plan upon which it is proposed that the works should be carried on, is as follows : 

1st. That those parts of the Line which require the longest time for execution, shall be com¬ 
menced first, and the rest in succession ; so that the whole may be completed at the same time. 

2nd. That the purchases of Land shall be made with reference to this arrangement. 

3rd. That the payments of the calls shall be regulated, so that no part of the capital shall be 
demanded before it is actually required. 

4th. That the works shall be executed by contract, by open competition, upon plans and 
specifications previously prepared; security being taken for the due performance of the engagements. 
The only deviation from this plan which the Directors propose, is in reference to the portion of the 
Line at the London end. This portion they would recommend to be executed with all the expedi¬ 
tion which may be found consistent with the stability of the work, and other considerations, from 
a conviction that the novelty and convenience of a Railway contiguous to the Metropolis, cannot 
fail to excite a general interest, and consequently to prove an early and productive source of reve¬ 
nue to the Company. 



The Directors have now to lay before the Proprietors a statement of Receipts and Disbursements, 
by which it appears that the balance at the disposal of the Company, is ,£44,670. 5s. 11c?. including 
a sum of ,£26,467. which is vested in Exchequer Bills. — The entire Receipts have been 
<£128,165. 4s. lc?.; the Disbursements £83,494. 18s. 2c?., including £500. for outstanding Claims, and 
<£10,700. already paid for the purchase of Land. 

As in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Proprietors are, at their First Meeting, to 
elect Twenty-four Directors, for the management of the affairs of the Company, the present Directors 
are prepared to surrender the trust confided to them. They venture to hope that the powers with 
I which they were invested, have been exercised beneficially for the interests of tho<e whom they have 
represented ; and although they would be unwilling either to excite or encourage expectations of too 
sanguine a character, they may be permitted to observe, that when they review the evidence in relation 
to traffic; when they consider the scientific improvements applicable to Railways; and the more than 
| probable important reductions in the expense of locomotive power; their confidence in the successful 
issue of the undertaking remains undiminished.

REPORT. 


Birmingham, 21 st February , 1834. 

The present meeting of Proprietors has been called in pursuance of the provisions of the Act of 
Incorporation, appointing half-yearly meetings of the Company, in London and Birmingham, alternately. 

Since the General Meeting of the Proprietors in September last, the attention of the Directors 
has been principally occupied by preparatory measures for the construction of the Railway, and the 
arrangements for obtaining possession of the land. 

In their former Report, the Directors announced the appointment of Mr. Robert Stephenson, as 
Engineer in chief. They have since succeeded to their complete satisfaction in obtaining the services 
of a sufficient number of skilful and scientific persons as Assistant Engineers, for conducting the Works 
on every part of the Line, which has been arranged in sub-divisions for this purpose. 

Notwithstanding the obstacles which an unfavourable season has presented to the field operations 
of the Engineers, the whole of the Line from London to Birmingham, has been staked out and levelled, 
with the exception of a few points, to which Mr. Stephenson is desirous of devoting his particular 
attention. He has reported that the Plans and Specifications of the Works for the first Twenty Miles 
from London, will be completed by the first of March. 

The Directors will then immediately advertise for tenders for the execution of the Work on that 
portion of the Railway, and the Plans and Specifications for other parts of the Line, will follow in such 
succession as shall bring the remainder into completion, in conformity with the intention announced in 
the former Report. 

The Directors have the pleasure to state, that the promptitude with which the payment of the 
Call for the second Instalment of £5. per Share has been made, affords conclusive evidence of the 
solidity of the Proprietary. The whole is paid with the exception of *£4,570. Os. 0 d., which Sum is 
accounted for by the number of unregistered Shares, and by the difficulty of getting Transfers completed 
by parties who had sold their Shares, and who had been previously registered as Subscribers of the 
Contract Deed. 

The Directors have made arrangements by which the Company will be assured of the services 
of its Solicitors at that moderate rate of Charge to which it is entitled, in consideration of the nature and 
extent of the business. 

By the Accounts which will be laid before the Court, it will be seen that a Balance of 
£120,306. 3s. 4 d. is at the disposal of the Company; of which £99,869. 3s. 9 d. is vested in 
Exchequer Bills. 

The total receipts to the thirty-first of December, have been £241,933. 13s. 10d.; the disburse¬ 
ments, £121,627. 10s 6d. 

In conclusion, the Directors observe, that they continue to feel unabated confidence in the data 
upon which their calculations were originally founded, and in the ultimate successful result of the 
undertaking.

And all such conveyances as aforesaid shall be valid and effectual in 
the law to all intents and purposes, and shall operate to merge all 
terms of years attendant by express declaration, or by construction 
of law', on the estate or estates, interest or interests, so thereby con¬ 
veyed or aliened, and to bar and destroy all estates tail, and all other 
estates, rights, titles, remainders, reversions, limitations, trusts, and 
interests, whatsoever, of and in the same. 

17 . Provided always, and be it further Enacted, That if any contract 
shall be made for or in respect of any lands, to be taken or used by 
virtue of the pow r ers of this Act, which shall be of copyhold or 
customary tenure, or in the nature thereof, every such contract shall 
be executed and completed by surrender of such lands in the Court 
of the Manor, of which the same may be held, or parcel according 
to the custom of such manor, which surrender shall and may be made 
by all corporations and persons by this Act authorized and empowered 
to make conveyances of other lands, and shall have like force and 
effect in respect of such copyhold, or customary estates and interests, 
as such conveyance as aforesaid, made by the same corporation or 
person, would have had over the lands comprised in such surrender, 
in case the same had been of freehold tenure in the same corporation 
or person; and such lands shall continue subject to the same fines, 
rents, and services, as may be then due and payable, and of right ac¬ 
customed, in the same manner as if this Act had not been passed, until 
such lands shall have been enfranchised by virtue of the powers herein¬ 
after contained; but inasmuch as the vesting and continuing of such 
copyhold or customary premise in the said Company as a body cor¬ 
porate would, if the same should not be enfranchised, prevent such 
lord from receiving the same benefit of fines, heriots, and other ser¬ 
vices due upon death, descent, or alienation, as he would have received in

paid by the said Company a reasonable recompence and satisfaction for 
the loss which may arise to him in respect of such fines, heriots, and 
other services, the receipt or enjoyment of which shall be diminished or 
lost by the vesting or continuing of such copyhold or customary pre¬ 
mises in a body corporate; and such recompense and satisfaction, 
if not settled by agreement between the parties, (and which agreement 
all lords of manors and other corporations and persons by this Act 
authorized to enfranchise copyhold or customary lands are hereby em¬ 
powered to enter into) shall be ascertained and settled by the verdict of 
a jury, if required, in like manner as the price of any lands to be taken 
in pursuance of this Act is directed to be settled in case of dispute as 
to the value thereof: and in all cases where the lord of any manor 
whereof any copyhold or customary lands, purchased by the said Com¬ 
pany for the purposes of this Act, shall be parcel, shall not have con¬ 
tracted to enfranchise the same, and shall have received from the 
said Company a recompense or satisfaction, in respect of the fines, 
heriots, and other services being diminished or lost by the vest¬ 
ing and continuing of such copyhold or customary lands, in a body 
corporate, then and in every such case, if the same lands, or 
any part thereof, shall not be ultimately required for the purposes 
of this Act, and shall be sold and disposed of by the said Company, 
under the authority to them by this Act given for that purpose, the copy- 
hold or customary lands, which shall so be sold and disposed of by the 
said Company, shall remain in the hands of the purchaser thereof, and 
for ever thereafter continue free and discharged from the fines, heriots, 
and other services, in respect whereof such recompense and satisfaction 
shall have been made as aforesaid. 

18. And be it further Enacted, That it shall be lawful for the lord for 
the time being of any manor, whereof any copyhold or customary lands 
required for the purposes of this Act are holden or parcel, and whether 
a natural person or a corporation, and whether seised in his own right 
or as a trustee, and whether he be seised in tail or for life or other 
limited estate, and in case of a lady, whether she be married or sole, and 
in case of an infant, lunatic, or other incapacitated person, being lord of 
such manor, then for his guardian, committee, or trustee to contract for, 
and the several corporations and persons aforesaid, are hereby em¬

copyhold or customary lands by such or the like form of conveyance as 
by this Act is directed or authorised to be used in cases of the convey¬ 
ance of lands; And in case such lord or other corporation or person 
hereby capacitated to enfranchise such lands shall require the same, 
it shall be compulsory on the said Company to purchase the enfran¬ 
chisement of such lands, and the price to be paid by the said 
Company for the purchase of the enfranchisement of any such lands 
shall, in case the parties differ about the same, be ascertained and set¬ 
tled by the verdict of a jury, if required, in like manner as the price of 
any lands to be taken in pursuance of this Act is directed to be settled 
in case of dispute as to the value thereof. 

19- And be it further Enacted, That the appointment or apportionment 
of the certain copyhold or customary rents issuing out of any copyhold 
or customary lands, of which a part only shall be taken for any of the 
purposes of this Act, in case the same shall not be settled by agreement 
between the parties, shall be ascertained and settled by the verdict of a 
jury, if required, in like manner as the price of any lands to be taken in 
pursuance of this Act, is directed to be settled in case of dispute as to 
the value thereof; and in case such appointment and apportionment 
shall be settled by agreement between the parties, such agreement shall 
be made with, and shall not be valid without, the consent and appro¬ 
bation of the lord of the manor whereof the same copyhold or customary 
lands, are held or parcel; and the apportionment of such copyhold or 
customary rents as aforesaid shall not in any manner invalidate, prejudice, 
or destroy the customs, in other respects, by or under which the copy- 
hold or customary lands, not taken for the purposes of this Act, shall 
be held, or the remedies for the recovery of the rent for the same, 
after the apportionment thereof. 

20 . And be it further Enacted, That in all cases wherein, in the execu¬ 
tion of the powers of this Act, there shall be occasion to take or use any 
common or waste land, or any other lands, which shall be charged with, 
or be subject or liable to the exercise of any right or privilege of com¬ 
mon thereupon, of what nature or kind soever, the conveyance of such 
common or waste land, or other lands, by any corporation, or other 
person having such estate or interest in the manor wherein such 
common or waste land shall be situate, (or if the same shall not be 
the waste of any manor, then having such estate or interest in the soil

enabled to sell other lands, have in such lands, and which conveyance 
may he of the like form as by this Act is directed to be used in the case of 
conveyances of other lands,) shall be a good and sufficient conveyance to 
the said Company, for the purpose of vesting in them the fee simple 
and inheritance of such common or waste land, or other lands, as fully 
and effectually as if every person having right of common upon such 
common or waste land, or other lands, were seised thereof in fee 
simple in possession, and had joined in and executed such conveyance ; 
and the compensation to be paid for the extinguishment of any right 
of common upon any such common or waste land as aforesaid, (and 
which shall be determined by a jury in case the parties differ about the 
same, in like manner as by this Act is directed in other cases of the like 
nature) shall be paid by the said Company to the churchwardens for the 
time being of the parish wherein such common or waste land shall be 
situate, and shall be by such churchwardens received and applied for such 
general or public purposes within the said parish as a vestry thereof to be 
convened by such churchwardens for that purpose shall direct; and in all 
cases in which any such commonable or other rights shall extend over 
and be exercised or enjoyed out of any other lands, than such common 
or waste land, the compensation for the relinquishment thereof shall 
be paid to the party having such estate or interest as aforesaid in the 
said commonable or other rights, or in any lands, whereunto the same 
shall be appendant or appurtenant, or otherwise, as the case may require, 
shall be deposited in the Bank of England, in manner by this Act 
directed in cases of other lands taken by the said Company : Provided 
alw'ays, that in all cases in which any such manor is vested in the free¬ 
holders or inhabitants at large, or in any greater number of persons than 
four, or where it is not known to what lord such manor belongs, or in 
what manor such common or waste lands are situate, the conveyance 
by four at least of the freeholders whose lands, (whether vested abso¬ 
lutely in them, or for such estate as would capacitate them to convey 
such lands, if wanted for the purposes of this Act,) entitle such free¬ 
holders to common right in or over such common or waste lands, and 
whose said lands, in the rate for the relief of the poor, amount in 
yearly value to three-fifth parts at least of the whole of the lands, 
which have such common right, shall also in like manner, be a good and 
sufficient conveyance to the said Company, for the purpose of vesting 
in them the fee-simple and inheritance of such common or waste lands. 


21. And 


( 17 ) 

21 . And be it further Enacted, That where any lands intended to 
he purchased by the said Company, shall be subject, solely or jointly with 
other lands not intended to be purchased to or with any rent, service, rent 
charge, or chief rent, or other rent, payment, or incumbrance, it shall 
be lawful for the said Company to agree for the release of the lands, 
so purchased from such rent, payment or incumbrance, and also (where 
necessary) for an apportionment of such rent, payment, or incumbrance, 
for such sum as shall be agreed upon between the said Company and 
the party who under the provisions of this Act shall agree to sell or 
apportion the same, and which agreement may be entered into by all 
corporations and other persons by this Act authorized and empowered 
to sell or convey lands, and in case any difference shall arise respecting 
the value of such rent, payment or incumbrance, or respecting the appor¬ 
tionment thereof, the same shall be determined by a jury if required, in 
like manner as the price of lands is by this Act directed to be settled 
in case of dispute as to the value thereof, which jury shall assess and 
determine the value of the rent, payment, or incumbrance affecting the 
lands intended to be purchased; and shall also (where necessary) appor¬ 
tion the rent, payment, or incumbrance affecting the lands jointly subject 
to rent, payment, or incumbrance as hereinbefore mentioned, according 
to the respective values of the lands intended to be purchased and of the 
lands not intended to be purchased by the said Company, and all con¬ 
tracts, conveyances, and assurances which shall be made by and between 
the said Company, and any such party as aforesaid, respecting such 
release, (and which may be of the like forms as by this Act are directed 
to be used in the case of conveyances of lands) shall be valid and effectual 
in the law, and shall extinguish the whole or a proportionate part of 
such rent, payment, or incumbrance (as the case may be): Provided 
always, that when any of the lands purchased by the said Company, 
shall be released from any rent, payment, or incumbrance affecting the 
same jointly with other lands not purchased by the said Company, such 
last mentioned lands shall be charged only with the remainder of such 
rent, payment, or incumbrance, and such apportionment shall not 
prejudice the remedies for such remainder, but the same shall at all 
times thereafter remain as effectual as if the lands not so purchased 
had been originally charged with that amount only; Provided also, that 
when a part of any rent, payment, or incumbrance shall be released, it 
shall be lawful for the said Company, on tender for that purpose of any 
deed or instrument creating or transferring such rent, payment, or incum-

of this Act, and what proportion of the said rent, payment, or incum¬ 
brance shall have been released, and also declaring the amount of the 
rent, payment, or incumbrance, which shall continue payable, and such 
memorandum shall be evidence in all Courts of the facts therein stated, 
and shall not exclude any other evidence of the same facts. 

22. And be it further Enacted, That all persons and corporations 
having any mortgage on any lands to be taken for the purposes of this 
Act, (and whether entitled thereto in their own right, or in trust for 
any other person, and whether in possession thereof by virtue of 
such mortgage or not,) shall, on tender of the principal money and inte¬ 
rest due thereon, and the just costs (if any) then due, together with the 
amount of six calendar months’ interest on the said principal money, 
by the said Company, immediately assign and transfer such mortgaged 
premises to the said Company, or to such person as they shall appoint; 
and which assignment may be of the like form, as the conveyances by 
this act directed to be used in cases of conveyance of lands, or as near 
thereto as the circumstances of the case will permit, or in case such 
mortgagees shall have notice in writing from the said Company that 
they will pay off the principal money, and interest which shall be due 
on the said mortgage at the end of six calendar months (to be com¬ 
puted from the day of giving such notice), then, at the end of such 
six calendar months, on the payment of the principal money and interest 
so due, together with any just costs then due, such mortgagees shall 
assign and transfer their respective interests in the mortgaged premises 
to the said Company, or as they shall direct; and in case any such 
mortgagee shall refuse to assign or transfer as aforesaid, on such tender or 
payment, then all interest on every such mortgage debt shall from thence¬ 
forth cease and determine: Provided always, That in case any such 
mortgagee shall neglect or refuse to assign or transfer as aforesaid, then 
upon payment of the principal money and interest, and the costs (if anv) 
due on any such mortgage as aforesaid, into the Bank of England, at 
the end of six calendar months from the day of giving such notice as 
aforesaid, or in lieu of such notice, and in addition to the said other 
monies, of six calendar months’ interest in advance, for the use of such 
mortgagee, the cashier of the said bank shall give a receipt for the said 
money in like manner as is by this Act directed in cases of other pay¬

the premises and estate comprised in such mortgage, to all intents and 
purposes whatsoever. 

<23. And be it further Enacted, That in all cases in which any lands, 
subject to any mortgage, shall be required for the purposes of this Act, 
which lands shall be of less value than the principal monies, interest, 
and costs secured thereon, or in which a part only of any lands, subject 
to any mortgage, shall be required for the purposes of this Act, and the 
mortgagee thereof shall not consider the remaining part of such lands 
to be a sufficient security for the money charged thereon, or shall not 
be willing to release the part required for the purposes of this Act from 
the principal or mortgage money, and all interest due or to become 
due thereon, and all costs, the value of such lands, or as the case may 
be, of such part of the said lands, as shall be so required for the pur¬ 
poses aforesaid, and also the compensation, if any, for any damage 
done, shall be settled and agreed upon by and between such mortgagee 
and the person entitled to the equity of redemption of such lands, 
on the one part, and the said Company on the other part; and, in case 
of any difference between them, then such value and compensation shall 
be determined by the verdict of a jury, in the same manner as in other 
cases of difference, and the amount of such value and compensation 
being so agreed upon or determined as aforesaid, shall be paid to such 
mortgagee in satisfaction of his claim, so far as the same will extend, 
and such mortgagee shall thereupon assign and transfer all his interest 
in such mortgaged lands, the value whereof shall so have been agreed 
upon or determined as aforesaid, or in case of his neglecting or refusing 
to assign or transfer as hereinbefore directed, then the amount of such 
value and compensation shall be paid into the Bank of England, to the 
credit of such mortgagee, as by this Act is provided in cases of a like 
nature ; and such payment to the mortgagee, or into the Bank as last 
aforesaid, shall be and be accepted in satisfaction of the claim of such 
mortgagee so far as the same will extend, and also in full discharge and 
exoneration of such part of the mortgaged premises as shall be so taken 
or used from all principal and interest and other money due or secured 
thereon : and thereupon such mortgaged lands shall become absolutely

to be in the actual possession thereof to all intents and purposes what¬ 
soever: Provided nevertheless, That all mortgagees shall have the same 
powers or remedies for recovering or compelling payment of their mort¬ 
gage money, or the residue thereof (as the case may be) or the interest 
thereof respectively, upon and out of the residue of the mortgaged 
lands not required for the purposes aforesaid, as they would other¬ 
wise have had or been entitled to for recovering or compelling payment 
thereof upon or out of the whole of the lands originally comprised in 
such mortgage : Provided also, that when a part only of any lands, sub¬ 
ject to any mortgage, shall have been taken for the purposes of this Act 
as aforesaid, and the value of the lands so taken shall on the assign¬ 
ment thereof to the said Company, have been paid to the mortgagee 
thereof, in part satisfaction of his mortgage debt, a memorandum of 
what shall have been so paid, shall be indorsed on the deed creating 
such mortgage at the time of executing such assignment to the said 
Company, and shall be signed by such mortgagee, and a copy of such 
memorandum shall at the same time, if required, be furnished by the 
said Company, at their expense, to the person entitled to the equity of 
redemption of the lands comprised in such mortgage deed.

( 68 ) 

roads or streets have been laid down or marked out, which roads or 
streets, as marked out, traverse the land so intended to be taken by the 
said Company, and it is intended that such roads or streets shall be 
continued and made through the lands so intended to be taken: Be it 
therefore Enacted, that the said Company shall within two years after 
they shall be in possession of the said pieces of land, at their own ex¬ 
pense lav down and make, and from time to time thereafter keep in 
repair, a road or street fifty feet in width, traversing the said pieces of 
land, in a direction from the top of Park-street, across, and over a cer¬

building leases of the said estate, and thereby to improve the value 
thereof, and in contemplation of such building leases, the said Provost 
and College have laid out a main road along part of their said 
estate, the course of which coincides with the line of the said in¬ 
tended Railway, part of which has been already made, and they have 
also made a branch road diverging from the said main road, and 
proceeding thence in a northerly direction ; And whereas it is 
expedient that the said Railway shall be carried through the said 
Chalcot’s estate, with as little detriment as possible to the value 
and the intended improvement thereof: Be it therefore Enacted, That

default in payment had been made, in respect of the share so sold, and 
that the same share had been declared to be forfeited, and that such 
declaration had been confirmed in manner hereinbefore mentioned,

be paid to the party towhom such forfeited share shall have belonged: 
Provided always, That it shall not be lawful for the said Company, or for 
the said directors, to sell or transfer more of the shares of such defaulter

time of such sale, to pay the arrears due from such defaulter for or 
on account of such calls, and the interest and expenses attending the 
same; and from and after payment of such arrears, and the interest 
and expenses aforesaid, any share vested in the said Company as afore¬ 
said, which shall remain in their hands unsold, shall revert to and again

the said Company against any proprietor of any share in the said under¬ 
taking, to recover any money due and payable to the said Company, for 
or by reason of any call made by virtue of this Act, it shall he sufficient 
for the said Company to declare and allege that the defendant, being a 
proprietor of so many shares in the said undertaking, is indebted to the 
said Company, in such sum of money as the calls in arrear shall amount 
to, for so many calls of such sums of money, upon so many shares be¬ 
longing to the said defendant, whereby an action hath accrued 
to the said Company, by virtue of this Act, without setting forth 
the special matter; and on the trial of such action it shall only be 
necessary to prove that the defendant, at the time of making such 
respective calls, was a proprietor of such shares in the said undertaking, 
as such action is brought in respect of, or some one such share, and 
that such notice was given, as is directed by this Act, of such calls 
having been made, without proving the appointment of the directors 
who made such calls, or any other matter whatsoever; and the said 
Company, shall thereupon be entitled to recover what shall appear 
due, including interest, computed as aforesaid, on such calls, unless 
it shall appear that any such call exceeded ten pounds for every share 
of one hundred pounds, or was made within the distance of three 
calendar months from the last preceding call, or that calls amounting 
to more than twenty-five pounds in the whole had been made in some 
one year; and in order to prove that the defendant was a proprietor

tively entitled to hold, and of the places of abode of the several proprie¬ 
tors of the said undertaking, and of the several persons and corporations 
who shall from time to time become proprietors thereof, or be entitled 
to shares therein, shall be primd facie evidence that such defendant 
was a proprietor, and of the number and amount of his shares therein. 

165. And whereas, in cases in which proprietors of shares in the 
said undertaking shall die, or marry being females, or become insolvent 
or bankrupt, or go out of the kingdom, or shall transfer their right and 
interest therein to other persons, and no registers shall have been made 
of the transfer thereof withthe clerk of the said Company, it may not 
be in the power of the said Company, to ascertain who are the pro¬ 
prietors of such shares, in order to give to them, or to their respec¬ 
tive executors, administrators, husbands, successors, or assigns, notice of 
calls to be made on such shares, or to maintain actions, suits, or other 
proceedings, against them, or against their respective executors, adminis¬ 
trators, husbands, successors, or assigns, for the recovery of the same ; 
Be it therefore enacted, That in all cases where the right of property 
in any share in the said undertaking shall pass from the original pro¬ 
prietor thereof, to any other person, or corporation, by any other legal 
means than by a transfer or conveyance thereof, duly made and execu¬ 
ted as herein provided, and such affidavit or affirmation, as is herein¬ 
before in that behalf directed, shall have been transmitted to the 
said Company, then and in any of the cases aforesaid, after twenty-one 
days’ notice in writing shall have been given under the hand of two 
directors, or by the secretary, or clerk of the said Company, to the per¬ 
son or corporation stated, or claiming in such affidavit or affirmation to be 
the then proprietor of such share, or delivered to some inmate of the last 
or usual known place of abode of such person, or of the clerk of such corpo¬ 
ration, to pay his or their proportion of money to be called for, and such 
person or corporation shall not have paid such, his, or their pro¬ 
portion as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the said Company, at any 
general meeting, or special general meeting, after the expiration of such 
notice, to declare every such share to be forfeited, and in such case the 
same shall become forfeited, and shall and may be sold and disposed of,

Gazette; and in all such cases, and after such notices, on default 
being made, the said shares shall be forfeited, and may be sold or be 
consolidated with the general fund of the said Company in manner 
aforesaid, and the like evidence of title shall be sufficient on any sale, 
and the like indemnity to the purchaser shall exist as in other cases of 
sales, on account of the non-payment of calls : Provided always, that in 
the cases of proprietors being abroad, the shares shall not be forfeited 
until the expiration of six calendar months after the day on which such 
notice shall have been delivered to some inmate of their last known or 
usual place of abode in England, if any such shall be known, and inserted

tions as the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in

ferred to ; and it was thereby provided, That, at the end of the said term 
of seven years, and also if at any earlier period the said duties of one shil¬ 
ling and one penny per ton should cease to be payable as aforesaid, the 
said Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens should be entitled to the 
said duty of one shilling and three pence per ton, as if the said Act 
now' in recital had not been made : And whereas the said duties would 
be evaded, if coals, culm, and cinders could be brought to or

thereof: Be it therefore Enacted, That the like duty per ton, 
as shall for the time being be payable to such person or persons as 
the said Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, in Common Council assem¬ 
bled, shall direct or appoint, or to the proper officer of the Customs (as
